Surviving a Kitchen Renovation

Are you renovating your kitchen? Before you can pick up bar stools for your San Diego space, you’ll have to endure a few months (or maybe more!) of having your kitchen ripped apart. Read our tips for staying sane while your kitchen is being renovated. Bonus: you won’t have to resort to microwave meals or dining out during the whole renovation process!

• Think creatively when using the space you do have. If you can, transform your dining room or another space into a kitchen. Keep dry goods in a plastic storage bin, perishables in a mini fridge and use your contemporary dining room buffet as your countertop.

• Do you have a slow cooker? Use it! Slow cookers are so helpful for making one-pot meals. A microwave, electric skillet and toaster oven are also good to have for easy meal-making.

• Adjust your grocery store list. Spaghetti might seem like an easy meal, but boiling water without a stove is hard! Buy items like rotisserie chicken, microwaveable rice and steam-in-the-bag veggies instead.

• If you love entertaining, don’t stop just because your kitchen is being renovated! Invite friends over and have a picnic.
